Some are going to decide they don't think it's fair that they get shafted for something someone else did, so they won't do anything at all.
I'm not going to demand that someone make the same moral or ethical choice that I would make in this situation...however, their choice will make it very easy for me to decide who I will do business with in the future.
If I were in the shoes of the person who bought and sold the hets...I would not hesitate to do whatever I could to contact my customers and do my best to make them whole again. This might include offering to give them other snakes, if I had them to give...or offering a refund on the monies spent for hets that turned out to be normals.
I would be pretty upset to know that I got shafted by so-n-so...but the LAST thing I would want to do is feel responsible for shafting anyone else, whether I'd done so knowingly or not. A person willing to "pass the shaft" on to his/her customers is not someone I would want to do business with.
